A shared experience, such as working with a consultant in hypnobirthing or exploring the benefits of hypnotherapy, can be all it takes to see a different perspective and gain an improved sense of empowerment and well-being through psychotherapy.
Learning self-hypnosis will empower you and provide a profound sense of well-being that you may have never experienced before. While you might meditate, practice yoga for physical well-being, or engage in other awareness-altering practices, self-hypnosis stands apart as a unique tool. There are various types of meditation and yoga, but self-hypnosis, as taught by a skilled consultant, can significantly enhance your cognitive ability, create mental clarity, and facilitate long-term changes in your psychological and physical well-being. Current research into hypnotherapy highlights its powerful and positive effects on psychophysiological mechanisms, leading to beneficial outcomes. Hypnosis is gaining popularity in numerous areas of health and well-being, including hypnobirthing. Contact me today to discover how I teach self-hypnosis to my clients, incorporating techniques from psychotherapy and hypnotherapy.
Hello, my name is Amanda Swan, and I am a consultant and the owner of Swan Therapy: A Private Practice. Established in 2017, my practice has continued to grow. Along with my qualifications, I draw on a wealth of life experience to support individuals looking to make meaningful changes in their lives. My background in Psychology naturally evolved into a therapeutic approach, leading me to open my own practice where I can offer psychotherapy that emphasizes choice, autonomy, and a healthier way of being.
At Swan Therapy, my mission is to provide high-quality, compassionate, and supportive therapy, including hypnotherapy and hypnobirthing, to individuals, couples, families, and children (11+) facing mental health challenges, relationship issues, bereavement, loss, and other life difficulties. I firmly believe that therapy should be accessible to everyone, regardless of their background or financial situation, which is why I offer a sliding scale approach to cost.
As a qualified consultant and psychotherapist with over 20 years of experience in supporting people with their mental health, I now specialize in helping individuals navigate difficult life transitions through psychotherapy and hypnotherapy, including hypnobirthing techniques. I possess extensive training and experience in dealing with bereavement and loss, employing restorative methods of facilitation and utilizing hypnotherapy in ways that are tailored to a person's specific needs, bringing relief from the distress they feel.
My therapeutic approach as a consultant is integrative, meaning I draw from a variety of evidence-based techniques, including hypnotherapy and psychotherapy, tailoring my approach to each client's unique needs. I prioritize creating a warm and supportive environment for people where they feel safe, listened to, and valued. I have moved into conducting my own research in the field of psychophysiology, where I am particularly interested in how hypnosis helps to regulate emotions. As a hypnobirthing practitioner, I find that hypnosis is a versatile and valuable tool that I use with individuals for various reasons. Hypnosis can be utilized to access the subconscious and facilitate changes at a deeper level; it can help someone feel less emotionally overwhelmed; and it can also serve as a regression technique, allowing the safe exploration of unconscious memories to understand and heal past traumas (a full assessment will be conducted first, along with a pre-talk on regression, due to the sensitive and ethical considerations of delving into the unconscious).
It can be difficult to trust in something which you cannot see, and putting your trust in a consultant whom you are paying can add to that. Hypnosis has been used for a very long time, and there has been research conducted over the years to support the health benefits that hypnotherapy brings. More recently, a study from Finland has shown that brain regions can act independently of each other during hypnosis, indicating that an altered state of consciousness does indeed change the way the brain functions and processes information.
If you are interested in the process of hypnobirthing or how I incorporate hypnotherapy with clients, please do ask during your introductory call or first appointment. I would be very happy to explain how I work and how it can be integrated with psychotherapy.
